^^on RICHMOND 
TO CHICAGO 




HE removal of Libby Prison from Richmond, Va., to Chicago was a 
project never before equaled in the history of building moving, and 
one that will not be surpassed for years to come. This famous old 
structure as a Confederate prison is too well known to need the repeti- 
tion of its history, and it is enough to state that it was the palace 
prison of the South, and during the late war it held more than 30,000 
Union officers and enlisted men as prisoners. The project of removing 
Libby to Chicago was first thought of by a well known Chicago busi- 
ness man, who interested a syndicate of his business associates and as 
a result they visited Richmond in the latter part of 1888 and took a thorough look over the 
ground. Then it was decided to purchase; negotiations were closed through Rawlings & Rose 
and the syndicate, with Mr. W. H. Gray as treasurer, commenced to make arrangements for 
its removal. Mr. Louis M. Hallwell, a well known and experienced Philadelphia architect, 
was engaged to work on the spot. He made all of the working plans for taking the structure 
apart, shipping it to the cars, and rebuilding it in Chicago. The work commenced in December, 
18S8, and as the building was taken apart each board, beam, timber and block of stone was 
numbered or lettered in such a manner that there was not the least trouble about placing these 
parts correctly together again in rebuilding. The contract for hauling the matter was given to 
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company, which kept box cars on the York River side track 
near the building and as soon as a carload was ready for shipment it was sealed and sent on its 
way to Chicago. This required 132 twenty-ton cars. In the meantime the massive stone wall 
had been erected on the Wabash Avenue front of the Chicago lot, and after the completion of 
this the re-erection of Libby Prison commenced and was completed early in September. The 
museum was opened to the public September 21st, and the patronage of the institution from 
that date to the present time demonstrates that the enterprise of Chicago's business men who 
took hold of this project is appreciated, and that the Libby Prison War Museum is a place well 
worth visiting. Notwithstanding the fact that the old prison is now filled with thousands of 
relics of the late war, new ones are being added every day and in the near future this museum 
will be setJnd to none in this country. One of the most interesting and important points about 
the exhibit in this building is the fact that it contains the most complete and valuable collection 
of Confederate relics in existence. The present officers of the Libby Prison War Museum 
Association are C. F. Gunther, President ; A. G. Spalding, Vice-President ; Albert Hayden, 
Vice-President ; C. E. Kremer, Secretary and Treasurer. Directors : L. Manasse, S. H. 
Woodbury, J. L. Gould, E, C. Wenthworth, W. H. Gray. Manager, Robert C. Knaggs.

THE APPOMATTOX TABLE 

One of the most valuable articles of interest in 
the Reception Room is the famous Appomattox 
Table, upon which Gens. U. S. Grant and Robert E. 
Lee drew up the papers for the surrender of the 
Confederate army, which closed the great civil war. 
This event occurred at the McLean House, April 

Q, 1S65. 

WAR LOGS 

The collection of tree stumps in this room, filled 
with shot and shell, is the finest in existence. They 
have been taken from the battle fields of Chicka- 
mauga, Kenesaw Mountain, Buzzard's Roost, Chat- 
tahoochie, Lookout Mountain and Gettvsburg. 

VIEWS OF RICHMOND 

1 langing from the posts are many original views 
of Richmond aiid vicinity, specimens of armv and 
naval weapons and accoutrements, and interesting 
specimens of the many kinds of shot and shell used 
during the late war. 

SHOT AND SHELL 

Just at the entrance of this room, on the outside 
walk, is a 7oo-[)ound Blakely shell, and two 15-inch 
mortar shells weighing 350 pounds each. In various 
parts of the room are specimens of the Parrot brass 
cap shells, minnic and musket balls, grape shot, 
Schrapnel shells, which are charged with powder 
and musket halls ; 64-ponnd coned steel shot, 12, 24 
and 32 pound shell, and a specimen of the AVhit- 
worth rilled solid shot. The guns that this shot was 
made for were cast in England, and but few of them 
were used during the war. There was but one at 
Vicksburg, which, owing to the peculiar noise it 
made when fired, was known as "Whistling Dick."

Colonel Ellsworth just prior to the war was in com- 
mand of the Chicago Zouaves, which were conceded 
to be the best drilled organization in this country. 
At the outbreak of the rebellion he went to New 
York and organized the New York Fire Zouaves, 
and in command of these he proceeded into Vir- 
ginia. While entering Alexandria he espied a rebel 
flag waving from a staff on the Marshall House. 



Without a moment's hesitation, he cnt< red the 
house, ascended to the roof, and started for below 
bearing the captured flag on his arm. As he reached 
the foot of the stairs a man named Jackson, propri- 
etor of the house, stepped from his room, fired at 
Ellsworth and killed him on the spot. Jackson was 
also killed on the spot by a soldier named Brownell. 
But thus ended the life of gallant young Colonel 
Ellsworth. Original tickets to national events.

The Basements 



The North basement, or cellar, was familiarly known as " Rat Hell." This originally had 
simply a dirt flooring and it was from the North wall that the tunnel was recommenced. The 
opening through the wall is still there and the very bricks that were taken from it. The centre 
room of the three basements contains the cells, four in nnmber, in which prisoners were con- 
fined for disobedience or for hostages. One of these is entirely without light and was known as 
the " black hole." The South cellar was not used for any purpose other than storage, and 
prisoners had no access to these cellars whatever unless placed in the cells.

JiiO* ica has produced. We cannot 
consider possibilities. What ca- 
pacities for leadership laydoimant 
in the obscure millions who carried mus- 
kets or swords we cannot say. We only 
know that others failed where Grant 
succeeded. I have too much faith in 
God and in the American people to be- 
lieve that our final success depended 
upon any one man. Had any one of a- 
thousand accidents barred the rise of 
Grant to the chief command of our 
armies, we should have conquered just 
the same by force of our numbers and 
the justice of our cause. But that the 
end came when it did, and as it did, we 
owe under divine providence to the skill 
and the will of Gen. Grant. 

His military history is too familiar to 
need rehearsal now. Hundreds of thou- 
sands still survive who helped to make 
that history, and millions are living now 
who read that history as it was born 
amid blood and tears. To theui it "is no 
dead fact stored up in dusty .libraries, no 
tiresome study for the schoolboy; it is a 
part of their own lives. Vicksburg and 
Appomattox Courthouse are not to them 
like Marathon and Thermopylae, vague 
shadows of the vanished past. Fort 
Donelson and the Wilderness are historic 
names to-day. But while 'this genera- 
tion lives they are more than historic. 
They are instinct with the life of the 
heroic present, greater than any heroic 



past. The time shall come when these 
too shall pass away from the living 
history engraved upon men's memories, 
and remain only in tiiat written tradition 
in books which we call history, the em- 
balmed mummy of the real history in the 
thoughts of men. 

When that time comes, the name of 
Grant will still remain as the g:reat 
chieftain of our' armies, and the victories 
he won will be studied by soldiers as 
among the great achievements of military' 
science. And men .will then say of him, 
that he never lost a battle, that he never 
retreated, and that when he won a vie- 
tory be followed it up so as to gather all 
the fruits of it. He had to face the best 
generals of the South, acting usually on 
the defensive, behind strong fortifications, 
with numbers almost equal to his own, 
and he always won. Three times a 
whole army surrendered to him, and no 
other Southern army surrendered to any 
other general until aftei" the war was 
virtually closed. His Vicksburg cam- 
paign, for its conception and execution, 
was worthy of Napoleon's best days, and 
the comprehensive sweep of his plans for 
crushing out the rebellion, after he was 
put in supreme command, were greater 
than Napoleon could have made, for 
Napoleon's inordinate vanity would 
never liave allowed Sherman to make 
his brilliant March to the Sea, while he 
was doing the less striking but more 
useful work of squeezing the main army 
of the rebellion to destruction behind its 
fortifications.

By the flow of the inlaml river, 

Whence the fleets of iron have fled, 
Where the blades of the grave grass quiver, 
Asleep are the ranks of the dead. 
Under the sod and the dew, 

Waiting the judgment day — 
Under the one the blue ; 
Under the other the gray. 

These in the robings of glory. 

Those in the gloom of defeat, 
All with the battle-blood gory 
In the dusk of eternity meet. 
Under the sod and the dew, 

Waiting the judgment day — 
Under the laurel tlie l>lue; 
Under the willow the gray. 

From the silence of sorrowful hours, 

Let the desolate mourners go. 
Lovingly laden with flowers 

Alike for the friend and the foe. 
Under the sod and the dew, 

Waiting the judgment day — 
Under the roses the blue ; 
Under the lillies the gray. 

So, with an equal splendor 

The morning sun rays fall, 
With a touch impartially tender 

On the blossoms bloomin" for all. 



Under the sod and the dew, 
Waiting Ihe judgment day — 

'Broidered with gold the blue; 
Mellowed with gold the gray. 

So, when the summer calleth 

On forest and field of grain. 
With an equal murmur falleth 
The cooling drip of the rain. 
Under the sod and the dew. 

Waiting the judgment day — 
Wet with the rain the blue; 
Wet with the rain the gray. 

Sadly, but not with upbraiding. 

The generous deed was done ; 
In the storm of the years that are fading 
No braver battle was won. 
Under the sod and the dew, 

Waiting the judgment day — 
Under the blossoms the blue ; 
Under the garlands the gray. 

No more shall the war-cry sever. 
Or the winding rivers be red; 
They banish our anger forever 

When they laurel the graves of our dead! 
Under the sod and the dew. 

Waiting the judgment day — 
Love and tears for the blue ; 
Tears and love for the gray.

The entire land between the Lakes and Gulf, 
the Atlantic and Pacific, from Maine to Ore- 
gon, from Rainy Lake to Cape Sable, is the 
home of the American citizen, and safety of 
person and protection of property should be 
extended alike to all, and when we cease to 
abuse liberty and award her legitimate domain, 
no cloud will darken our national sky. We 
urge an examination of points of agreement. 



that a firm friendship and brotherly under- 
standing be effected or brought about between 
us. Then points of difference can be weighed 
more justly, and handled with regard for each 
other's feelings, and each have an eye to his 
brother's honor and interests ; then no clash- 
ing will follow. Let not the Blue despise the 
Gray, nor the Gray treat with contempt the 
Blue. Were we brave and willing in the day

For upwards of thirty years"these Superb Instruments have been conspicuously before tlie pulilic, 
upon tlie concert stage and in the tfrawinij room, wliere they command tlie miquestioned athniration of tlie 
nuisical world, not only because of their Phenomenal Dikahii.itv, but liecause also of that Peclliarlv 
KiCH and sympatheticX^UM.iTV (jf Tone, which is their distinctive characteristic and which has so en- 
deared them to those qualified by the highest musical trainini;; to recognize the finer distinctions of tone 
quality. They combine, moreover, that'consuuimation of Mechanical Excellknce which admits of the 
most delicate and impressive effects, and that IIniform Sipekiokitv that so greatly enhances not only 
the pie isure t)f the audience, but that of the performer as well. The secret of their success, which is thus 
so brilliantly emphasized, must be admitted to lie in the beauty of their pure, limpid, rich and sympa- 
thetic (|ualitv of tone. NIr. Weber, a thoroughlv educated musician, recognizing that the development of 
the Pianoforte had been wholly in the direction of h;(v//u///.vw, conceived the idea of developing //■<' /o«<', 
in which his success was truly astonishing. In respect of (/««/;'.')' "/Vr7«,-, therefore, it may be confidently as- 
serted, that the Weber Piano occupies a position that is unique and unapproachable. There is a breadth 
and musical character to tlie tone, together with a singing capacity so desirable, that gives to these instru- 
ments that sympathetic sensibility which renders them so indispensable to singers, because of their sustain- 
ing and harmonizing consonance with the voice. Mechanically considered they challenge comparison with 
the most expert artisanshi]> of eitlur hemisphere, combining all the best achievements of all times and 
peoples. The cases, which are superbly designed, constr\icted and finished, are for the most part of simple 
vet tasteful designs, and the interior works are made in tlie most solid and enduring manner, and with the 
inost patient care. In a word, the Weber Pianoforte assumes to be a strictly first-class instrument of the 
highest grade, upon which no money has been wasted; and while obviously not a low-priced piano, it com- 
bines in the highest possible degree the maximum of value and the minimum of cost.

of battle ? So was the wearer of the Gray. 
Did wc cheerfully endure hardships as good 
soldiers, performing long marches, enduring 
the sufferings incident to a soldier's life, in 
time of war, without a murmur, but with com- 
mendable patience and perseverance ? So did 
the wearer of the Gray. At Cold Harbor, 
Winchester, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chan- 
cellorsville, Gettysburg, from Bridgeport to 
Atlanta, Spottsylvania to Appomattox, were 
we not faced by foemen worthy of our steel ? 
Not in the person of foreigners. No ; but in 
the brothers of our own household. Was it 
not Greek meeting Greek ? And comrades, 



do we not in heart to day, grasp with true 
brotherly affection the hand of him who so 
honestly and so bravely opposed what you and 
I with honesty and courage defended ? And 
furthermore, do we not give them a hearty 
welcome to all the sunshine of liberty, burying 
beneath the sod of the past whatever may have 
come between us, and seek to talk and live as 
brothers — each a blessing to the other ? To 
talk and write less about points of difference, 
and more about points of agreement, would 
soon knit us together as one people, as we 
never have been knit together before. 



THE REV. HOWARD HENDERSON, D. D. 

I was a soldier of the South. I was with 
her fortunes until her last banner went dov.-n. 
I once thought my heart was in the tomb of 
her heroic dead. I now feel that I best serve 
the purpose for which they fought and fell, by 
being true to the issues that survive them. I 
could inum, in the Pantheon of fame, the ashes 
of every immolated Southron; I would blazon 
an epitaph of eulogy upon every mouldering 
grave; I would not, by word or deed, have 
them dishonored. This would be to put a 
brand on the brow of my own children, for I 
might too have been in the charnel where they 
rest. The dead past buried its dead, and their 
graves are not dishonored. Flowers are twined 
alike for the blue and the gray. History will 
embalm them with the same perfume of praise. 
They fought in a " war of the Roses." They 
were two knights met at the crossing of the 
highways where our fathers had set up a shield 
with golden and silvern side. Now, we have 
the tri colored escutcheon of America — red, 
white and blue — held in the hand of the god- 
dess of liberty, whose index finger pomts to a 
glorious future along a colonnade of patriotic 
light. 

Whatever can cement America in the bonds 
cf Livic and Christian interest, interprets " the 
duty of the hour."

FRANCES WILLARD 

In the spring of 1S63 two great armies were 
encamped on either side of the Rappahannock 
River, one dressed in blue, and the other 
dressed in gray. As twilight fell, the bands of 
music on the Union side began to play the 
martial music, " The Star Spangled Banner " 
and "Rally Round the Flag;" and that 
challenge of music was taken up by those upon 
the other side, and they responded with " The 
Bonnie Blue Flag" and "Away Down South 
in Dixie." It was born in upon the soul of a 
single soldier in one of those bands of music 
to begin a sweeter and a more tender air, and 
slowly as he played it, they joined in a sort of 
chorus of all the instruments upon the Union 
Side, until finally a great and mighty chorus 
swelled up and down our army — " Home, 
Sweet Home." When they had finished 
there was no challenge yonder, for every band 
upon that further shore had taken up the 
lovely air so attuned to all that is holiest and 
dearest, and one great chorus of the two great 
hosts went up to God ; and when they had 
finished the sweet and holy melody, from the 
boys in gray there came a challenge, " Three 
cheers for home ! " and as they went resound- 
ing through the skies from both sides of the 
river, " something upon the soldier's cheeks 
washed off the stains of powder."

Up from the south at break of day, 
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay, 
The affrighted air with a shudder bore, 
Like a herald in haste to the chieftain's door. 
The terrible. grumble, and rumble, and roar, 
Telling the battle was on once more, 
And Sheridan twenty miles away. 
And wider still those billows of war 
Thundered along the horizon's bar. 
And louder yet into Winchester rolled 
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled. 
Making the blood of the listener cold 
As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray, 
With Sheridan twenty miles away. 



But there's a road from Winchester town, 

A good, broad highway leading down ; 

And there, thro' the flash of the morning light, 

A steed as black as the steeds of niglit 

Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight ; 

As if he knew the terrible need. 

He stretched away with the utmost speed : 

Hills rose and fell — but his heart was gay. 

With Sheridan fifteen miles away. 

Under his spurning feet the road 

Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed. 

And the landscape flowed away behind, 

Like an ocean flying before the wind ; 

And the steed like a bark fed with furnace- ire 

Swept on with his wild eyes full of fire; 



But lo ! he is nearing his heart's desire, 

He is snufiing the smoke of the roaring fray. 

With Sheridan only five miles away. 

The first that the General saw were the groups- 
Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops ; 
What was done — what to do — a glance told 

him both. 
And, striking his spurs with a terrible oath, 
He dashed down the line 'mid a storm of hur- 
rahs, 
And the wave of retreat checked its course 

there, because 
The sight of the master compelled it to pause,. 
With foam and with dust the black charger 

was gray. 
By the flash of his eye and his nostril's play 
He seemed to the whole great army to say: 
" I have brought you Sheridan all the way 
From Winchester town, to save the day ! " 

Hurrah ! hurrah ! for Sheridan ! 
Hurrah ! hurrah ! for horse and man ! 
And when their statues are placed on high. 
Under the dome of the Union sky — 
The American soldier's temple of fame — 
There with the glorious General's name. 
Be it said, in letters both bold and bright : 
" Here is the steed that saved the day 
By carrying Sheridan into the fight 
From Winchester, twenty miles away ! "

P from the meadows rich with corn 
S\©(?^!^ Clear in the cool Septeinber morn, 






The clustered spires of Frederick 
stand 



'4i'' Green-waUed by the hills of Maryland. 

5 Round about them orchards sweep, 

Apple and peach tree fruited deep 

Fair as a garden of the Lord 

To the eyes of the famished rebel horde, 

On that pleasant morn of the early fall, 
WTien Lee marched over the mountain wall , 



Over the mountains, wind- 
ing down, 

Horse and foot into Fred- 
erick town. 

Forty flags with their sil- 
ver stars, 

Forty flags with their 
crimson bars, 

Flapped in the morning 

wind ; the sun 
Of noon looked down and 

saw not one. 

Up rose old Barbara 

Frietchie then, 
Bowed with her fourscore 

years and ten. 

Bravest of all in Frederick town. 

She took up the flag the men hauled down; 

In her attic window the staff she set, 
To show that one heart was loyal yet 

Up the street came the rebel tread, 
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead. 

Under his slouched hat left and right 
He glanced — the old flag met his sight. 

" Halt!' The dust-brown ranks stood fast; 
" Fire!" Out blazed the rifle blast. 

It shivered the window, pane and sash; 
It rent the banner with seam and gash. 




Quick as It fell, from the broken staff 
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf; 

She leaned far out on the window sill, 
And shook it forth with a royal will. 

" Shoot, if you m.ust, this old gray head, 
But spare your country's flag!'' she said. 

A shade of sadness, a blush of shame 
Over the face of the leader came; 

The nobler nature within him stirrea 
To life at that woman's deed and word. 

"Who touches a hair of 
yon gray head 

Dies like a dog ! March 
on! " he said. 

All day long thro' Fred 
erick street 

Sounded the tread of 
marching feet;- 

All day long that free flag 

tossed 
Over the head of the 

rebel host; 

And ever its torn folds 
rose and fell 

On the loyal winds tha 
loved it well. 

And through the hill gaps' sunset light 
Shone over it with a warm good-night 

Barbara Frietchie's work is o'er, 

And the rebel rides on his raids no more 

Honor to her! and let a tear 

Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier.' 

Over Barbara Frietchie's grave 
Flag of Freedom and Union, wave! 

Peace, and order, and beauty draw 
Round thy symbol of light and law, 

And ever the stars above look down 
On thy stars below in Frederick town !

Except now and then a stray picket 
1 s shot on his beat as he walks to antl fro, 

By a rifleman hid in a thicket, 
''lis nothing, a private or two now and then, 

Will not count in the news of the battle 
Not an officer lost, only one of the men 

Moaning out all alone the death rattle. 

All ([uiet along the Potomac to night. 

Where the soldiers lay peacefully dreaming, 
Their tents in the rays of the clear autumn 
moon, 

Or the light of the watch hres are gleaming 
A tremulous sigh, as the gentle night wind, 

Through the forest leaves softly is creeping; 
While stars up above, with their glittering eyes. 

Keep guard, for the army is sleeping. 

There's only the sound of the lone sentry's 
tread, 

As he tramps from the rock to the fountain, 
And thinks of the two in the low trundle-bed, 

I'"ar away in the cot on the mountain. 
His musket falls slack, and his face dark and 
grim, 

Grows gentle with memories tender, 
As he mutters a prayer for the children asleep — 

For their mother — may Ileaveu defend her. 



The mucin seems to shire just as brightly as 
then. 

That night when the love yet unspoken 
Leaped up to her lips — when low murmured 
vows 

\\ ere pledged, to be ever unbroken. 
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes, 

He dashes oft tears that are welling. 
And gathers his gun closer to its place. 

As if to keep down the heart-s\\elling. 



He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree, 

The footste]) is lagging and weary; 
\'et onward he goes thro' the broad belt ol 
light, 

Toward the shade vi' the forest so (h"eary, 
Hark I wai it tiie nighl-wind that rustld the 
leaves ? 

Was it moonlight so wondrously Hashing? 
It looked like a rifle — Ha ! Mary, good by ! 

And the life-blood is ebbing and plashing. 



All (|uiet along the Potomac to-night, 
No sound save the rush of the river ; 

While soft falls the dew on the face of the 
dead — 
The ]iicket's off duty forever i

GRAFTED INTO THE ARMY. 




UR Jimmy has gone lo live in a tent, 
They have grafted him into the 
army ; 
He finally puckered up courage and 

went, 
When they grafted him into the 
army. 

I told them the child was too young, alas! 
At the captain's forequarters they said he would 

pass— 
They'd train him up well in the infantry class — 
So they grafted him into the army 

Chorus. 

Oh Jimmy, farewell! Your brothers fell 

Way down in Alabarmy ; 
I thought they would spare a lone widder's 
heir, 

But they g^-afted him into the army. 



Drest up in his unicorn-^dear little chap; 

rhey have grafted him into the army ; 
It seem.s but a 'day since he sot in my lap. 

But they have grafted him into the army. 
And these are the trpusies ^e used to wear — 
Them very same buttons — the patch and the 

tear — 
But Uncle Sam gave him a bran new pair 

When they grafted him into the army. 

Chorus. 

Now in my provisions I see him revealed — 
They have grafted him into the army ; 
A picket beside the contented field, 

They have grafted' him into the army. 
He looks kinder sickish — begins to cry — 
A big volunteer standing right in his eye J 
Oh ! what if the duckie should up and die, 
Now they've grafted him into the army !

Shouting the battle-cry of freedom ; 
We'll rally from the hillside, we'll rally

Shouting the battle-cry of freedom. 

Chorus 

The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! 
Down with the traitor, up with the star! 
While we rally round the flag, boys, J'ally 
once again. 
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom 

We are springing to the call of our brothers 
gone before, 
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom ; 



And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million 
freemen more. 
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom. — Chorus. 

We will welcoine lo our numbers the loyal, true 
and brave, 
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom; 
And altho' he may be poor, he shall never be a 
slave, 
Shouting the battle-ciy of freedom. — Chorus. 

So we're springiug to the call from the East and

Bright and shining uu our resjilfiuitiu an-

of noble, heroic and self-sacrificing women, 
who organi/etl and carried f rward to triumph- 
ant success a colossal sanitary and charitable 
scheme, the like of which, in nobility of con- 
ception and jierfectness of execution, the 
world had never before witnessed, and which 
carried all around the globe the fame and the 
name of the women of Ann rica. 

From camp to camp, from battlefield to 1 at- 
tlefield, through tl, long and toilsome march, 
by day and by night, these sacred charities fol- 
lowed, and the prayers of the devoted and the 
true were ceaselessly widi you through all 
dangers. 



Leagues and leagues separated you from 
home, but the blessings there invoked upon 
you hovered over and around you, and sweet- 
ened your sleep like angels' visits. 

While the boy soldier slept by his camp fire 
at night and dreaming of home, and what his 
valor would achieve for his country, uttered 
even in his dreams prayers for the loved ones 
who had made that home so dear to him, the 
mother dreaming of her son breathed at the 
same time prayers for his safety, and for the 
triumph of his cause. The prayers and bless- 
ings of mother and son, borne heavenward, 
met in the bosom of their common God and

Chicago, December 14th, 1889. 

Dear Madam : — In calling attention to our New Enterprise, and 
soliciting your valuable patronage, believe there is, room in Chicago for a 
retaiLDry Goods House, conducted on first-class principles, keeping reliable 
goods only, and still selling them at a less profit than has been customary 
among the "High-Toned" Stores. 

In other words, there are plenty of CHEAP STORES selling nothing 
but CHEAP GOODS, and plenty of "HIGH COST" stoKes, but none that 
have adopted a middle course, willing to sell first-class goods at a small 
margin of profit. 

We know there is a growing demand in Chicago, among all classes, for 
^^er goods. We do not believe it is necessary to charge the old time 
»fits, as we think that larger sales will at least make up a part of the 
flciency. This is no idle theory, as our Mr. Proby speaks from an experience 
twelve years in Chicago, among all classes of trade. 

Our stores now number 138 and 140, State Street, a few doors south of 
Madison, and it is our intention of doubling the size, the ensuing sprino-. 
The four floors overhead, reached by two modern elevators, are about one- 
third larger than the main floor, being 72 x 130 feet, or ten thousand square 
feet on each floor, and are all excellently lighted and ventilated. 

It is hardly necessary to say, that in all things, we propose to give the 
customer every advantage. Goods will be exchanged or money refunded at 
all times without question. If goods do not wear well we will replace them 
with othefs, as we believe there is only one way of doing business. On these 
grounds we ask a share of your custom. Inspection and comparison 
earnestly solicited. Yours very truly,
